Introduction
Electrical energy storage is a key factor for the future. The
consumption of electrical energy (i.e. the use of air conditioning,
audio and video devices or electric heating) is increasing every year
due; firstly to the increase of the population and secondly by the
appearance of new uses of consumption, such as electric cars. With
this increase consumption, how to ensure the balance between supply
and demand for electricity at all times? To address this problem, the
idea of placing the new generation of smart grids to control this
energy has appeared in recent literature in different flavors in order
to provide electric power supply secure, sustainable and competitive
to consumers. In addition, the revolution in smart grid involves a
significant change in side of the consumer where consumers will also
become producer with the ability of energy storage such as in the
vehicle battery, or as a local generation sources such as photovoltaic
panels. However, the smart grid develops modern solutions for the
next-generation network and digital communication in which many
systems and subsystems are interconnected to provide services from
end-to-end network between various actors and between intelligent
devices that are deployed there. Within each network, a hierarchical
structure is composed of different types of networks, such as the HANs
(Home Area Networks), the BANs (Building Area Networks), the IANs
(Industrial Area Networks), the NANs (Neighborhood Area Networks), the
FANs (Field Area Networks), and the WANs (Wide Area Networks).
Currently, large societies propose the use of cloud computing in smart
grid applications connected with the electrical control center. The
main problem in the development of a smart grid is not located at the
physical medium but mainly in delivery of reliability and security.
The possibility of fitting with active or passive attacks in smart
grid network is great to divulge privacy and disrupt energy (e.g.
Wormhole Attack, False Data Injection Attack, Black Hole Attack, Grey
Hole Attack, DoS Attack, Physical Layer Attack, Colluding Adversary
Attack, Routing Table Overflow Attack etc.). Therefore, the security
requirements, including authentication, accountability, integrity,
non-repudiation, access control and confidentiality should be paid
more attention in the future for high performance smart grids. This
book will cover the current scope of various methodologies and
mechanisms in the theory and practice of security, privacy, intrusion
detection, and applied cryptography in smart grid communications in
one place.

Objective
This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential
reference source, building on the available literature in the field of
smart grid security in developing countries while providing for
further research opportunities in this dynamic field. It is hoped that
this text will provide the resources necessary for policy makers,
technology developers and managers to adopt and implement smart grid
platforms in developing nations across the globe.

Target Audience
Policy makers, academicians, researchers, advanced-level students,
technology developers, and government officials will find this book
useful in furthering their research exposure to pertinent topics in
smart grid security and assisting in furthering their own research
efforts in this field.

Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before March
5, 2016 (Extended), a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the
mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of
accepted proposals will be notified by March 10, 2016 about the status
of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are
expected to be submitted by May 15, 2016. All submitted chapters will
be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be
requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Chapters with
multiple authors are welcome, even encouraged.
